2. 1. Variation management for cost-efficient integration of variable renewable electricity

   Author : Viktor Walter; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Flexibility measures; Energy storage; Energy system modelling; Renewable Energy;

   Abstract : The aim of this work is to improve our understanding of how wind power and solar photovoltaics (PV) can be integrated into the electricity system in a cost-efficient manner. For this, a techno-economic cost-minimising model of the electricity system is used for a set of case studies. READ MORE

4. 2. Atomic Scale Design of Clean Energy Materials : Efficient Solar Energy Conversion and Gas Sensing

   Author : Jawad Nisar; Rajeev Ahuja; Puru Jena; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Photocatalysts; Band gap narrowing; Water dissociation; Density functional theory; Gas sensing; Kaolinite; Physics with spec. in Atomic; Molecular and Condensed Matter Physics; Fysik med inriktning mot atom- molekyl- och kondenserande materiens fysik;

   Abstract : The focus of this doctoral thesis is the atomic level design of photocatalysts and gas sensing materials. The band gap narrowing in the metal oxides for the visible-light driven photocatalyst as well as the interaction of water and gas molecules on the reactive surfaces of metal oxides and the electronic structure of kaolinite has been studied by the state-of-art calculations.

5. 3. Alternative Energy Harvesting and Conversion Systems Based on Nanostructured Heterostructures

   Author : Mojtaba Gilzad Kohan; Alberto Vomiero; Andrea Li Bassi; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; light harvesting; solar supercapacitors; energy conversion; Photovoltaic; energy storage; metal oxide semiconductors; Experimentell fysik; Experimental Physics;

   Abstract : Conversion and storage of the solar radiation into applicable forms of energy, using ubiquitous materials is of central importance that quests several disciplinary fields in both applied technology and fundamental science. Harnessing the solar energy received by the earth has the potential to replace the current sources of energy and it is imperative for sustainable development. READ MORE

6. 4. A novel solar-driven system for two-step conversion of CO2 with ceria-based catalysts

   Author : Bo Wei; Reza Fakhrai; Torsten Fransson; Nader Jand; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CO2 conversion; solar; ceria; thermogravimetric test; exergy analysis; simulink; fluidized bed; gas-solid flow; simulation; Energiteknik; Energy Technology;

   Abstract : Global warming is an unequivocal fact proved by the persistent rise of the average temperature of the earth. IPCC reported that scientists were more than 90 % certain that most of the global warming was caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHG) produced by human activities. READ MORE

7. 5. Cost-efficient integration of variable renewable electricity - Variation management and strategic localisation of new demand

   Author : Viktor Walter; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; flexibility measures; Energy system modelling; smart energy systems; variation management strategies; variable renewable electricity;

   Abstract : The aim of this work was to improve our understanding of how wind power and solar photovoltaics (PV) can be integrated into the European electricity system in a cost-efficient manner. For this, a techno-economic, cost-minimising model of the electricity system is refined for a number of case studies. READ MORE
